Laurence McKinley, MD — 19′ BARTENDER

“Thank you for giving me such a beautiful boat. I received many admiring glances on the way home. In fact, the day I left you I drove to Roseburg, Oregon and the following day, I drove into San Diego. The boat has already gotten quite wet. We went through a hailstorm in the Central Valley, so much so that I had to pump out the boat with the vacuum at a gas station.

The favorite that I received was from this young kid who was running the gas station in San Diego who, at midnight, comes out of the gas kiosk to make the following comment:
“Gnarly! The boat looks like a surfboard for old people!”

Anyway, I just wanted you to know how incredibly happy I am with the boat. I am absolutely overwhelmed by the beautiful simple craftsmanship. I have looked at it very, very carefully and everything that has been done has been done to the highest standard. I am very proud to own this boat.

I will send you photographs as the building progresses. I am probably your happiest customer.”
